    Editorial take: Frontier Airlines World Mastercard

    Editorial take: United Quest Card

    If you fly United 3+ times a year, the $200 United TravelBank credit, two free checked bags for you and a companion, and the 10,000-mile anniversary award discount make this card pay for most of its fee.
